+You have three ways to install Postgresus: automated script (recommended), simple Docker run, or Docker Compose setup.
 
 ### Option 1: Automated Installation Script (Recommended, Linux only)
 
 The installation script will:
 
-- ✅ Install Docker with Docker Compose (if not already installed)
-- ✅ Create optimized `docker-compose.yml` configuration
-- ✅ Set up automatic startup on system reboot via cron
+- ✅ Install Docker with Docker Compose(if not already installed)
+- ✅ Set up Postgresus
+- ✅ Configure automatic startup on system reboot
 
 ```bash
 sudo apt-get install -y curl && \
 sudo curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RostislavDugin/postgresus/refs/heads/main/install-postgresus.sh \
 | sudo bash
 ```
 
-### Option 2: Manual Docker Compose Setup
+### Option 2: Simple Docker Run
+
+The easiest way to run Postgresus with embedded PostgreSQL:
+
+```bash
+docker run -d \
+  --name postgresus \
+  -p 4005:4005 \
+  -v ./postgresus-data:/postgresus-data \
+  --restart unless-stopped \
+  rostislavdugin/postgresus:latest
+```
+
+This single command will:
+
+- ✅ Start Postgresus
+- ✅ Store all data in `./postgresus-data` directory
+- ✅ Automatically restart on system reboot
+
+### Option 3: Docker Compose Setup
 
 Create a `docker-compose.yml` file with the following configuration:
